Host Spotlight: Douglas

Editor's note: Each month, we'd like to introduce you to one of our wonderful Glamping Hub hosts and what inspired them to create a glamping site. This month, we have Douglas, who manages this gorgeous tree house cabin rentals in Carmel, California.

1. When was the first time you heard the term glamping?

The first time I heard the term glamping was when Glamping Hub first contacted me with a reservation request.

2. What inspired you to have your own glamping site?

The performance of Glamping Hub in being the best lead-generator I use is what inspired me to have my own site.

3. If you could describe your property or the glamping experience you offer in three words, what would they be?

That's easy—peaceful, quiet, nature.

4. What was your first glamping/camping experience?

As my response to question #1 indicates, I have not had a glamping/camping experience as a guest, but only as a property host.

5. Why would you recommend people to go glamping?

Glamping Hub is the best [company] I have used in streamlining the booking process from inquiry to payment receipt to welcoming the guest to our property.

The unique setting on 19 acres of redwood forest on the Big Sur Coast, as well as easy, 20-minute access to the villages of Big Sur (South) and Carmel (North).

8. What’s your favorite part about owning a glamping property?

The ability to have [Glamping Hub] connect me with the demographic of large numbers of people who are looking for exactly what our property offers.

9. What makes your property eco-friendly?

We do not offer TV or microwave ovens, we use propane as our heat source, and we are in the process of installing solar panels to power our entire property. Our cabin rentals are in keeping with our family goal of making our footprint on planet Earth as light as possible.

10. Anything else you’d like to add?

I welcome the opportunity to create a deeper business relationship with Glamping Hub, quite possibly moving towards the time when it can be our exclusive and only lead-generating company.
